Every facet of the gift box is illustrated by woodcut artist Jane Randfield with whimsical Medieval-meets-Modern iconography, which was eight years in the making and inspired by a traditional Italian storytelling “Teatrino” mini theatre.

Le Box is available for purchase at select fine wine shops throughout the country including Chelsea Wine Vault in New York City and Tewksbury Fine Wine & Spirits in New Jersey. Le Box can also be purchased via email: info@chenebleu.com. Stay up to date by following @CheneBleuWine on Instagram.

This method is very different from typical still rosé production, which usually involves brief maceration of dark grape skins with juice.

Just like a great marriage or relationship, red and white are better together in the case of Rosé Champagne. Henriot Rosé is intense, playful, and full of surprises. Its delicate copper-pink color gives way to aromatic notes of strawberries & cream, ginger, and pink grapefruit; while remaining structured and exquisitely balanced.

The palate strikes a fine line between opulence and elegance and the watermelon aromas on the nose persists through to the palate, balanced by notes of stone fruit, wild herbs, salinity and bright, crisp acidity. The warm, long growing season on the Central Coast is about as Provençal as it gets in California.

Seven Hills Winery Dry Rosé
